'ver mind," remarked Mr. Wellman.
"Plavse bo sworn."
MreWellman asked the witness If she had
beenan inmate of Rhoda Sanford's house at 24
l!ayrd street. She replied that she had lived
then several months last year. Sometimes
then) were as many as six girts In the house
and sometimes more. Strange men were let In

mtl?t Paterson. She went to live In Rhoda
Harford's house on Dec. 23. 1802. Capt. Crow
i in charge of the Eleventh precinct at that
time. Between December, 180 J, and February.
1803, when Capt. Cross left the precinct, the

molested the Inmate while she was there. The
house wa raided twice by Capt. Devery, and

was arrested each time. The piano was kept
going for about six months after Capt. Devery
rame to the precinct. The lights were turned

Williams bridge, was a partner of Mrs. Han ford
in the luyard street house, and the two con
darted the house at Willlamsbrldge together.
Edward. Kllpatrlck, the builder, who was a
witness before the I,exow Committee, testified
sgalgst Officer Burns. Mr. Kllpatrlck said he
first met Officer Burns In the early part of 1800,
when he was engaged In the construction of the
Edison hullding. at 42-14 Broad street. Burns
came along In plainclothes and Introduced him
self as the ward man. Burns said that as Mr.
Kllpatrlck was putting up a building there he
uould know the ward man.
"The police can be of assistance to you."
Hums said to the witness. " You will have to
put up abridge over Broad street and another
one on New street for pedestrians. It will be
13.10 for each bridge and we will put an officer
b-re to look out fo things."
"I expressed great surprise at his demand,"
continued Mr. Kllpatrlck. "The officer said to
me that all the builders paid It except Dave
King, and that I would have to pay It, too. The
nett time I saw Officer Burns he came tn me
snd Hid Well, you haven't seen me yet. I
told Mui I did not intend to 'see' him. and that
h rould see me at anytime he wanted. After
hat my men were arrested on several occasions,
although L had a permit from the Department
of Publln Works to put bridges across the side
walks. The next time I saw Hurnswaa at the
Old Slip police station. I went there to see
about the arrests of my men, and as I was stand-Ingln-theoflJreDuraarameoiit

He took me by the arm and fairly pushed me
out pf the station house. I paid nu money to
Hums or any other policeman.''
.In answer to Law)rT House's questions.
Builder Kllpatrlck admitted that at the time of
mi flrt conversation with Officer Burns he had
no porralt to build bridges. In his permit to
conitruita vault under the sidewalk the per.
mission tn build bridges had been stricken out.
After the first visit of Bums he went to the De
partment of Public Works and got a permit to
construct bridges over the sidewalk. Before his

The witness admitted that Jennie Thornton, a

Oeorge Arold, a barberof 17H Delaneey street,
testified that the house kept by Karl Werner, at

asked If he bad a permit for It. Lee showed
the permit. They had some talk about the
bridge which was going to be erected over the
sidewalk, and Burns asked him If he knew
"Mike" Birne. The witness said he did, and
Burns said to him t " You go and see him, aud he
will tell you how to have this thing fixed." The
witness admitted that the streets were blocked
with building material when he had the conver

The Orand Jury yesterday ordered an In
dhtmetit for bribery to be drawn against Karl
Werner alias Oustave Wasner. Werner was
one of the l.exow committee's witnesses against
('apt. Devery, aud testified before the commit
teo that he had given 1000 to Ward Man men
tion forCapt. Devery in order that the dive he
ran at U Delaneey street might not be rslded.
'Hie Indictment. howeei. has nothing to do
with that mar. but Is based on Werner's alleged
attempt to bribe Policeman Henry Cohn at Es

against Werner's bartender.

Two Kaat Hide Theatre Reopened Farce
at Jacobs', Variety at Pastor'.
Two playhouses of the east side opened shop
yesterday: one with farce, the other with a a
riety performance. The Third Avenue Theatre
was the former, and Its play was styled an " op
eratic farce comedy " In the bill, and named
"Dr. Cupid." It proved to be a hodgepodge
of farcical fun. In which nearly ever)' one
engaged took two or more parts, some of the ac
tors taking a different character in each of Its
three acts. The authorship was credited to C.
II. Clifford. There was little commendable In
his work, though It served well enough to intro
duce many songs, and the specialities In which
those employed appeared to the best ad vantages.
Plot and probability were both left out of the
author's calculations.
As much of a story aa there was In "Dr. Cu
pid" hinged on an operation of skin-grafting,
which transformed the patient Into a man very
like him from whom the transplanted cutlcln
was taken. At all times and tn all guises tho
members of the company burst Into song with
the slightest Introduction. Like the delegate
from Texas, they knew what they were there
lor. ana they went about It. The songs and
specialties were all much liked, but there wefe
a few especially favored ones. Of these were a
monologue by Edward Kagleton, songs by Itobert
II. Kane and Joe McKenna, dancing by llulda
Havers and Louie Rice, and singing and dances
by Daisy Majer, and a squad of colored plckau.
Inlnles. ....
At Pastors the start was made with a arlety
performance In which Jnme . Hoey and Web
ber and Fields were the entertainers of greatest
reputation. Hellanre was put for the most part
on well-known specialists, among whom were
Isabelle Carllnl. O'Brien and Havel, Mile. Ka.
inochl, and Harris ami Walters. The chief
novelty of the eenlng was the specialty
of Ed M. Oordan, a skilled marks
man. Beginning with a rifle, he made twenty
shots at sway Inur glass balls, eat h essay made In
a different position, and In most of them he
took aim with the help of a mirror. Prartlre
at what the marksman Introduced as "horse
back shooting" found him pert tied on a man's
back, who trotted about while his rider showed
his skill. Then came some ptstolpract Ice which
showed eoually true aim The final ef
fort consisted In playing on a x)lnphone by
striking Its bars w I til the rifle's missies. Popu
1st aires w ere followed In this way so as to bo
easily recogntrable. anil "Sweet Marie" was
thus thoroughly riddled, without a tear being
shed o er Its fste. One trick of shooting on tha
programmb was by Mile. Kamnchl and an as
sistant. She was to have caught the bullet in
her teetlu but the trick failed ludicrously.

Chicaoo, Aug. SO. Debs was on the stand
for nearly four hours to-day before the Na
tional Strike Commission. He advocated a co
operative commonwealth, the abolition of the
wage system, and the Government ownership
of railroads. He told his side of the strike aa a
connected narrative, which was frequently In
terrupted by applause from the laboring ele
ment present.
T. II. Morrlssey, First Vlce-Orand Master of
the Order of Hallway Trainmen, and Oraud
Chief Clark of the Order of Hallwa) Conduc
tors also testified.
Oeorge M. Pullman has been asked tn appear
befure the Labor Commission to gtte testimony
an to the difficulty between himself and his em
ployees. It was said to-day that Chairman Car
roll 1). Wright of Hie Commission hsd a per
sonal Interview on Saturday with Mr, Pullman
and Informed him that lie would be requested
totestlf). Whether Mr. Pullman hadatteded
to or declined to comply with tho request, and
whatcourso the Commission would pursue In
the event of Mr. Pullman proving tontumat lous.
would all appear In proper lime In tho proceed
ings of the Commission. Mr. Wright said.
It was said also that requests simitar to that
sent to Mr. Pullman were sent to several of the
general managers. So far as could be learned
onl) one of them has responded thus far.
When Debs took the stand he said, In answer
to questions, that lie was 38 )ears old, and In
addition to being at the head of the A. It. I',
was editor of the f.iiroinoKte rlmmm'
Jfnisiiliir. He testified thai fiom the beginning
lie wasoppused to a strike, and so told Vice
President Howard. Ho then continued
"I twice went to Oeorge M. Pullman and to
the town of Pullman to thoroughly Investigate
the conditions exlstlngat the tar shops. I found
that the employees were nut onl) not getting
wages enough to lle, but that they weru dally
getting deeper Into the debt of the Pulliiiau
Company. No matter how offensUe tbe con
ditions w ere there, the men were obliged to sub
mit to them. When I found out all these things,
I Immediately determined that the American
Kalln ay Vnlon should go to the assistance of
these unfortunate people. We believed that any
fair Hoard of Arbitration would have del lared
In faorof the employees, and all we asked was
arbitration. This the Pullman Company arbi
trarily refused. Not only this, but when we
asked them to examine Into the question to see
whether or not there was an) thing to arbitrate,
tbey also refused this.
"Very much hss been ssld about nn alleged
conspiracy against the railroads and against
hauling the malls. I want to call the attention
of this Commission to the fact that every meet
ing of the A. 11. I, was held with open doors,
aud that representatives of the press were al
lowed to be present. If there had been any
conspiracy contemplated we certain!) would
hav e been more secret about It."
Debs then told of the several failures of the
A B. V. to secure arbitration from tbe Pull
man Company and the subsequent Inauguration
of tbe strike.
" Not only did tbe employees of tbe vari
ous railroads strike liecause of the Injustice be
ing done to the Pullman emplo) ees, but because
the various roads hsd griev antes of their own,
which I shall proceed In time to show. We
used our Influence to prevent strikes during the
World's Fair, as we did not believe It just to tbe
public to Inaugurate a strike at such u time. It
was all that could ho done bv the leaders of the
lsbor unions to prevent a strike. In view of tbe
men's working throughout the Fair the railway
managers on many of the roads promised an
increase of wsges after tbe l-atr was over. In
stead of doing this tbey began immediately
after the Fair closed tn begin a systematio re
duction of wages throughout the countrv. No
two companies reduced waees at the same time.
This, to me. was very significant. It showed mo
that there was concerted action among the va
rious roads, snd that they did not wish to amuse
the antagonism of too many railroad employees
at the ulna time."
Debs said that no rallrond reduced the wages
of all Its men at the same time, but reduced
them by sections. He declared the A. It. C
viewed thoso reductions with the greatest ap
prehension. The orcs.nt7.at Inn felt that the time
had come tn at t. W hen thu A. It. I', met, In
convention In Chicago nn .lun 21 It was ton
fronted by these conditions at we'll an the state
of affairs at Pullman.
"Was this convention railed to consider the
reduction of wages or tho Pullman matter 1"
asked Commissioner Wright.
"The convention was called for no specific
purpose. It was the regular quadrennial con
vention, port idol for by the constitution."
The witness then enumerated the failures of
the old labor organizations to gain redress for
the grievances of the employees, and asserted
they felt their only hope lay in the A. It. I .. Iti
which they finally turned for help. When
asked what the outcome of the convention
which delared the boycott against the Pullman
cars would have been had it not been for the
grievances! of Pullman employers. Debs said
there would have been no strike but for the
Pullman trouble, as the A. It. C, owing to the
depressed condition of the country, deemed Itan
Inauspicious time to strike.
"I would like to state," said Debs, "that the
railroad companies have never raised wages of
their own arcord. Every Increase In wsges has
been wrung from them by organized labor."
"I had novolcolnorderlngthlsstrikcmyself,"
said the witness, "hut If I had had a voire In It,
1 would have ordered I have nn desire to shirk
any responsibility. My record will show also
that 1 havealwaa counselled against violence.
The telegram attributed to mn which read,
'have your money and buy a gun,' though sent
over my signature, I neversaw. It was sent by
our stenographer to his superior In Montana,
and was not Intended literally It was merely a
playful expression current In Montana,"
Tim witness dec lared that the men would have
won the strike had not the courts Interfered.
"Itvvns not tbe soldiers," he said, "norths
old labor organizations, but the Federal courts
that kept us from winning. By tha arrest of
the leaders tho ranks of the strikers were de
raorslled." He charged Oen. Miles with being In league
with the railroad managers to suppress tho
strike, and related Instances where, as he al
leged, men were made to work at the point of
theba)onet. The refusal of the general mana
gers to accept the A. It. IV proposition to end
the strike was then recited, Deba denied that
tlmA, R. I', had any antipathy for the old or
ganizations. " Within thenext three da)s," said the wit
ness, " we are going to tuke steps to unify all
railroad labor organizations. We are willing to
give up our (sMitlons and sacrifice the A. It. I'.
to act ompllsh this result, and agree not to nc.
cept an official position at the head of the new
organization."
When tho Commission took Its noon recess
Debs was still on tho stand. At 1 .30 o'clock
he resumed. He testified that from the be
ginning the American Hallway Union and Ihe
strike loaders had been badly treated hv tbn
Chicago press. Interviews had been distorted
and many lies told, Debs declared. He especially
scored the Western Associated Press, which, he
asserted, had taken Ita color from Chicago rail
road organs and had misrepresented the strikers
In ev ery way,
Delia said If there had been a revolution it
would have been directly chargeable to tbe
press of Chicago rattier than to the American
Hallway Union. Editorials had been written alt
over the rountry. he asserted, based on matter
sent out by the Western Associated Prees. the
editorials lu every rase attacking the A. It. U,
on Information which was abeolutely false,
"Do jou charge the general managers with
being responsible for the strike r" asked Com
missioner Wright.
" Well. I could hardly go so far aa that. I be
lieve, however, they had mucfi to do with keep
ing It up."
''How would you gain the demands of labor
ers on quasi public, corporations " asked Judge
Worthlngton.
' There are t o ways. One Is tbe way adopted
by the old brotherhoods, that Is, getting a
schedule of wages gradually from the compa
nies. There lias been little good In this mode of
Erocedure. It take a strike to wtn sometimes,
ut I don't believe the railroad empIo)ees of
this country could win a strike to-day if they
were all organized In one brotherhood, because
the courts are against labor. I can show In
twenty 5 ears of writing that I have alwa) a been
opposed to strikes, but I think there are times
when they are Justifiable, no matter how much
the public is discommoded."
Mr Debs said he did nut think the general
managers were always to blame In reducing
wages, because their orders came from a higher
source. He belltrved the A it U could never
be crushed, and that the spirit of organiza
tion among laboring men would alwa)-
be strong, lie predicted that more serious trou
bles would occur than ever before.
" Now," continued I)eb,")ou have asked me
howl would avert railroad strikes. I believe
IheOovernment ownership of railroads would
be far better than railroad ownership of the
Oovcrnmrnt. I do not believe any lasting good
ran come from arbitration, and I do not think
thetiovernment supervision of railroad would
answ er the purpose In sut h a case a that of th
Pullman Company I believe compulsory arbitra
tion would be of benefit A State court might be
of some good for ordinary labor troubles 1
would in such a rase have a trial of tbe differ

however, that will result In mutual aood

Deb waa cross-examined by Commissioner
Kernan. who sought to bring out the point that
a State Board of Arbitration would 6 of bene

that It would Tss of temporary benefit, but advo

pointed out that such a state of affairs would
probably be Impractlt able.

ClltCAUO, Aug.20.-0ov. Altgcld In his official
rspaclly tame from the Slate tapltal to-day to
personally Investigate the condition of l,U0O
destitute ex-employees of Pullman's Palace Car
Company, their wives and chlldieu. Chairman
Heathcote of the Strike Committee and his col
leagues had written a letter to the Oovernor
telling htm that tho former emplo)oes of Ihe
company who were out of work were starving
and that their families were siitft ring for wuut
of tho necessities of life.
After a thorough Investigation the Oovernor
found that the statement of thu condition of the
Idle men In Pullman aud Its vlrlnlt), who went
out on strike several months sgu, wss not exag
gerated. He also found that tberu was no
longer any strike at Pullman-that all tho
uld men had been appt)lng dally for work fur
tho last ten dsvs. All not emploied are liuw
suffering. 1 he Oovernor proposes to provide re
lief a quickly as lie can get the ell) and county
authurltlts load. At I he Sherman Mouse, after
his visit tn Pullman, he said.
" I was met by several of tho Pullman officials
and also bv the Chairman of the St rise Commit
teo and other men who had written to mu about
the toudltlon of their people- there. I asked
them to tuke nu-to the homes of those ill want.
I vlsllrd ugrent inuii) hutisea. I went into the
kitchens and tbe bedrooms. 'I here Is no ques
tion about thetoudltloiis which exist In Piillmuii
among those who nro not at work. All the
strikers havu been living fur the last two and a
half months on what has been glveuthemby
the labor organizations and ilmrltv I spent
half a day among them, and, although I con
fined inj visit ti Pullman, I extended mv In
quiries to Kensington and Itostland, where
many of the people In distress live
"I had a. consultation With the Pullman
officials and I fuuud no different e of opinion as
to I ho condition nor as to the exteut ot the
dlstiess. Ihn officials agreed that nearly nil
the strikers had to subsist on what had been
given them b charity and the relief ussodatiun
for the last ten weeks. The relit f toiumlttee
flliils that Its support Is exhausted and it Is nut
able to furnish unit h more.
"When the works closed A,2i() persons were
ou tho pa) lolls. Thereare now 2,VUU emplo) ed
tn tbe shops, but of that number over D00 are
new men aud the remaining 1,000 are from the
original employees. .No there me 1.M0O former
employees not at work. Of these, 600 or 000
live In Pullman and have families. The
distress Is stuong all. All have uttered to
return to work for the last ten dava. All have
been appl)lng dally for work and tJtinot get It.
Iherompan) tells them It ha no work to give
them, but would give them work if possible. I
expect lo see more people In reference to some
tourse to pursue in the matter to-morrow. The

that It was able to give out last Saturday touach

7 MILLS BtlVT DOWN.
Ihree Concern Make Concessions te the
Operator The L'alona Rsndr tor a,
LKng right-The Hltuntlen nt Fall River.
Nkw BsoronD, Mass., Aug, 20. This morn
ing the cotton operatives began their general
strike, and nearly 11,000 are Idle. But five of
the twenty-seven mills lu the city were not
affected, and It Is thought that these mills will
soon be shut down with the others. Secretary
Ross of the Spinners' Union said this morning
that the member of his union hare lined up for
a long struggle, and confidently expect that It
will be of six months' duration.
The strike promises tu be the most Important
which ever occurred In the textile Industry In
Massachusetts. The manufacturers must fight
perfectly organized unions, some of which are
fairly wealthy. The Spinners' Union has a fund
In Its treasury aggregating at least $ 10,000. Ihe
spinners havo voted, however, nut to touih any
of this money for a month.
The situation lu New Bedfnnl Is quite differ
ent from that In Fall Rlvrr. There prlut cloths
are manufactured fur the most part, and there
It a larger stook of goods on hand. Here, how
ever, the mills manufacture a finer grade of
goods, and some of Hum have orders which
would keep the milts bus) for sevetat months.
During the earl) part of the day the streets
presented a hollds) appeataure as the thou
sands of neatly attired operatives wandered to
and fro brimful of hilarity ami confident of
victory. With tho exception of a slight dis
turbance at the Bristol milt, where a doreu op
eratives whowero at work were attacked b)
the strikers at noon without any serious
result, tho behavior of the strikers was pratrfiil
and oiderly. As the day udvalned signs of a
weakening of tbe matiufnt turcrs were mani
fest, ntid the announcement was luadu in the
afternoon that threo of the corporations had
made Ihe necessary concessions. Some other
curiairatluns gave evidence of fullering.
William D. Howlatid, Treasurer of the How
land, Rul h, and New Bedford .Manufacturing
(ouiimiiles, took the Initiative. Frum Ihe start
he was opposed to the strike Mr. Rowland
said that lie has simply vvalved the cut-down
till hutaudetlde what action he will adopt. He
waa not present when tho tut-down was voted,
else he would have opposed It, but tho si Hon
wan taken aud the uutltcs up before he teallred
It. When he found what trouble was to ensue
he oriltred the notices down In his mills anil
notified thu other manufacturers that for the
present ho should not make any tut.
"I have shut down my mills." snlil Mr. How.
laud, "till I find out Just what I cnu do. I have
already conferred with committees of tbe help,
and 1 propose to do the same with ni) fellow
manufacturers. When 1 ascertain the position
of both, then I wilt decide what course 1 will
take. When It Is fully decided what terms the
help vv 111 accept and the whole matter Is adjusted
between us. then 1 will start up the mills. I
can't affurd to let the help run my mills to suit
themselves, but I will grunt all 1 can."
" And suppose It unnes to a deatl open and
shut between a demand for the cut on tbe part
of the manufacturers and a demand for the old
sthcdille on the part of the help, will you say
what )our rourse would be then J"
Mr. Rowland reflected a moment and then
replied,"! would waive the cut down and run
the mills.
"I can't afford totakeartlnn which will result
In shutting down our plant and severing tho
smooth and friendly relations we have lu our
mills at present, I cannot run a mill without
the cooperation of the help, and If I Impose
such conditions that the men refuse to work
my silent spindles won't mnke money for the
Mock holders."
"Hut how about this overproduction?" won
asked.
"Well, I agree thst something must be done
tn reduce the oost of goods, bill I am of a dif
ferent mind from most manufacturers. I look
for better limes In the near future. If curtail
ment Is the remedy, let us curtail; but If re
timing wages Is going lo bring everything to a
standstill, it Is pretty evident that Is not the
proper course."
Mr. Rowland said that hn did not like to an
tagonize the other manufacturers. He thought
It a good thing for mill men to act In harmony,
but still dltl not see why he should be bound
down to a policy which he did not sgree with,
and In the voting of which he was not rep.-e--eented.
Had he been present at the meet
ing he would have voted against the cut.
Mr. Hon land said he would try to
arrive at a conclusion and arrange terms with
bis help as soon as possible, so as to leave the
mills sllont no longer than Is neccssor). Mr
Hnwlnnd's action will restore to work about
1,700 hsnds, and mostof them represent families.
Late this afternoon Andrew O Pierce. Trcas.
urer of the Wnmsutta mills, was asked, In view
of the at lion taken bv Mr How land, what would
be tbe course of tho other corporations, ilero
plled: "The mills will lock up to-night for an In
definite perils! "
His statement, he said, not only applied tnthe
Wamsutta corporation, but to ever) mill In the
t ity outside of the mills controlled by Mr. How
land. It has been supposed that, inasmuch as the
Spinners' Union was much stronger than the
Weav ers' organization. I he manufacturers would
enter for the enlnner In tbe reduction, and con
ciliate them if possible. Every mill posted Its
reduction schedule on Soturda),and they w em
compared by the labor leaders yesterdii). The
schedules are dissimilar, and It was found
that the manufacturers had cut down the spin
ners more than 10 tnr cent. In many Instant er,
but tho weavers were not cut at all, or very
little. This ratio Is preserved s)stematicHlly
throughnnt tho mills, and the operatives Udlevu
that the manufacturers hope to get thu weavers
back before many weeks.
As the weavers are not barked up by & strong
treasury the manufacturers think the) will not
holdout vt rr long, part Icularl) as their wage
will not be changed, and they will onl)- l Im
pelled to stay nut through s) mpalhy. The man
ufacturers think that by the time they are ready
tn startup the weavers will lie ready tn come In
and that yarn can be bought from other mills
until the spinners are ready tn succumb, Bui
there Is no trepidation on tbe part of tho opera
tives. All are buo)ant and confident of ulti
mate success." Some of tho mills, no doubt, are
preparing for a long shut down
"The meeting of manufacturers Thursday
was an adjourned session," said a gentleman
who was prexent, "and was not called because
of action of Ihe spinners, an supposed. In fact,
the determination of the spinners was but
brief!) touched upon, The meeting waa held to
decide upon some plan of reduction wheretiVtbe
l't pa Id help In the mills might lie reduced and
those who are tlassed as small-paid help either
but sllghtl) rut down or not touched ut all.
"This mutter was fully discussed, and finally
It was derided that each corporation should rt'g
lllulH Its own adjustment of tho out-downs,
vv hlch Is from '.'V4 js-r cent to 10 iierrenl. Inu
gi eat many instances there will 1m- no rut-down
whatever, it is said, but as a rule all of the
spiuners. who rfre the best paid men In tho dif
ferent mills, outside of the officials, w HI bo at
fet ted by tbe new order of things."

and treasurers of cloth mills In nn uncertain
and angry frame of mind. 1 he Olobe Yarn
